  The SAP error message RSFBP117 indicates that a key field specified in a query or report does not exist in the defined semantics of the data source. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when working with InfoObjects, queries, or data models.
